Chapter 0557 - Layout Guanzhong

"What if Li Yi finds an excuse not to fight?" Wang Xin suddenly asked.

"There are too many displaced people, Li Yi has to fight if he doesn't fight, otherwise the northern Xinjiang will let the displaced people collapse." Wang Yun said with a smile.

"However, in order to make Li Yi clash with various states and counties as soon as possible, so that all states and counties feel Li Yi's strong threat, and force them to strike first and take the lead in attacking Jizhou, we have to spend some thought and make some tricks." Wang Yun said, "Judging from the news sent to the imperial court, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai was indeed killed by the Yellow Turban Army. ”

"We can ask the Son of Heaven to send a minister to Yanzhou to succeed him as the governor or assassin. The Yellow Turban disaster in Yanzhou was so severe that the imperial court could use this as an excuse for Li Yi to send troops to escort the minister to Yanzhou to take office. Li Yi supervised the military and political power of the two capitals of the six prefectures, and it was natural for him to send troops to Yanzhou. Yanzhou is now under Yuan Shao's control, and the two will definitely have a fierce conflict for this, and they will have to fight if they don't fight. ”

Once the news of Li Yi's plot against Yanzhou spreads, officials from other states and counties will definitely feel the same way. This tiger is too much of a threat to them, and now this tiger is not strong enough, and it is time to fight. When this tiger grows up and becomes powerful, everyone will have to wait for death. So......" Wang Yun made a gesture of encirclement, "in the desert, this is called the technique of wolf siege, let him tiger be brave and invincible, and he will definitely die." ”

The crowd applauded.

"Li Yi's strength is strong, and the army of Northern Xinjiang is rushing down, what should I do if I defeat the prefectures and counties in various places?" Wang Xin asked again, "Now that the Yellow Turban Army is making trouble everywhere, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Tao Qian and others may not be able to stop Li Yi." ”

"Fighting a war does not depend on the size of the army and the bravery of the soldiers, but on the abundance of money and food. Without money and food, Li Yi can't even afford to raise an army, let alone fight. Wang Yun said triumphantly, "In the past few years, the Yellow Turban Army has ravaged the prefectures and counties, and there are so many displaced people, I am afraid that it is not what we can imagine." It is said that northern Xinjiang has received more than 20 million displaced people in recent years, which is almost half of the entire Han population. With so many displaced people to eat and give relief, it is not enough to give Li Yi another Jizhou, not to mention that he has a vast and boundless desert. ”

"Taking a step back, even if Li Yi leads his army to cross the river to attack regardless of the lives of the displaced people, we can fight his Hedong, and the power of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin's joint counterattack cannot be underestimated. The Northern Frontier Army was attacked on both sides, coupled with the scourge of the displaced people, and it was only a matter of time before it was defeated. As soon as Li Yi is defeated, it will be difficult to rise again. By getting rid of this tiger, we will not only solve the threat of the northern Xinjiang to Guanzhong, but also take advantage of their defeat in the future to send troops to the Kanto and Central Plains, reorganize the community, and build a meritorious cause for all generations. ”

Everyone seemed to see Li Yi defeated and walked away from the desert, and cheered happily one by one: "The tiger was eaten by a group of wolves, no, it was eaten by a group of rabbits, haha......"

"Zishi, although we have a strategy to deal with Li Yi, there is still a problem, that is, how do we get him out of the imperial court?" Huang Wan asked with a smile, "Li Yi has now controlled Chang'an, and if you want him to leave, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Wang Yun snorted disdainfully and said, "It's not easy, isn't he loyal to the Son of Heaven?" With our control over the Son of Heaven, we can send him away by casually letting the Son of Heaven issue a holy decree. ”

Everyone thinks about it, Li Yi has always been known for his loyalty to the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven ordered him to leave Chang'an, would he dare not leave?

Everyone has decided to enter the palace the next day to send the Son of Heaven to Li Yi and let him leave Chang'an to quell the rebellion. But they never expected that before they could take action, Li Yi had already made the first move and asked the Son of Heaven to move directly to Northern Xinjiang. And the Son of Heaven has been frightened all these years, and he is tired of the dangerous life in Guanzhong, and now that he has the opportunity to go to the very safe northern Xinjiang, how can he not agree?

The Son of Heaven not only agreed to Li Yi's request to move the imperial court to northern Xinjiang, but even Li Yi's proposal to deal with the crisis in Guanzhong was accepted in its entirety without modification.

………………

Li Yi's entry into King Qinwang in Beijing caused the greatest shock to the Xiliang rebels led by Li Dao and Guo Yan.

A moment ago, they were still looking forward to occupying Chang'an, holding the Son of Heaven hostage to command the world, sealing the marquis and worshipping the generals, and living a life of glory and wealth, fine clothes and fine food, and even they have seen the hope of capturing Chang'an. However, in the next moment, something desperate happened: Li Yi led a large army into Chang'an.

The generals of Xiliang know very well that not to mention that their army is now at the end of its ammunition and crossbows, even if there is enough food and grass, with their troops, it is impossible to capture Chang'an City, which is guarded by Li Yi.

For a while, all the generals in Xiliang felt that they had reached the end of the road.

In desperation, everyone surrounded Li Ru, saying that he had harmed everyone. If it weren't for Li Ru instigating everyone to rebel and lead a large army to attack Chang'an, they would not have rebelled, but accepted the appeasement of the imperial court. But now, they have rebelled, and there is no hope of survival.

But Li Ru is not easy to get along with, he pointed to a group of people and scolded: "Don't be stupid, even if you accepted the appeasement of the imperial court at the beginning, do you think that with Wang Yun's person, you will give us a way to live?" We'll just die faster, maybe not even now. Now, when there is such a thing as a hussar general stationed in Chang'an, it can only be said that God does not bless us. But even so, we can at least die on the battlefield, this is the honor of our soldiers, and it is also our fate, and the death can be regarded as vigorous, not after accepting Wang Yun's appeasement, we will die to the extreme! ”

Looking coldly at the somewhat dumbfounded Xiliang generals, Li Ru said loudly: "Now, you idiots should not come to me for trouble, but should work together with each other to prepare for a desperate battle with the Northern Xinjiang Army and win the last glimmer of life." ”

The generals of Xiliang thought about it, now that there is no hope of survival, let's fight to the death, even if they want to die, then they will pull a few pads, and they will not die in vain.

As a result, everyone left one after another, preparing to reorganize the army and fight to the death with the Northern Xinjiang Army.

However, at this time, the imperial decree came, pardoning Dong Zhuo for all his crimes to comfort the Xiliang soldiers, and bury him in Yiwu on a certain day. At the same time, he pardoned the crimes of Li Dao, Guo Yan and other Xiliang rebel generals, and ordered them to be stationed in Tuntun on the spot and not to march to Chang'an again.

Following the holy decree, there is also the order of the hussar general Li Yi, stay where you are, save your life, and the army can also be retained, otherwise it will be death!

The 180-degree turn in the attitude of the imperial court made the Xiliang generals a little dazed and at a loss. If it's just the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid these Xiliang generals won't believe it, because recently, the imperial court has done too many things to go back on its word. But Li Yi is different, this man has always been true to his word.

Between the two choices of choosing a dead end to continue to fight to the death with the Northern Xinjiang Army and staying in place to survive, the Xiliang generals did not hesitate to choose the latter.

Immediately, the imperial decree came again, appointing Li Wei as Zuo Fengyi Taishou, Guo Yan as Jingzhao Yin Taishou, and Zhang Ji as Hongnong County Taishou, in addition, Fan Chou, Wang Fang, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Zhang Xiu and others all worshiped Zhonglang General. Li Yi is also hard enough for his own layout. Anyway, these official positions are all given by the imperial court, and it doesn't cost him a penny.

………………

At the beginning of June, Yuan Shao led a large army into Hangu Pass.

Yuan Shao was very excited, and along the way, he and Fu Zhu, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others discussed with great interest how to restore Kanto and Kansai to life as soon as possible.

Due to the continuous wars and disasters, the people of Kansai have either died or fled to other places to avoid disasters. The people of Kanto were ordered by Li Yi to move to Hedong as early as the year before last year, and there are no traces here. The two places are deserted and inhabited, and Yuan Shao wants to quickly restore the past prosperity of the two places, which is almost a fool's dream.

Yuan Shaoxing was elated, but the three of them, including the judge, the judge, and Guo Tu, were worried. The Northern Xinjiang Army took the initiative to abandon Guanxi and retreated at an unbelievable speed, which shows that the hussar general Li Yi had already intended to withdraw from Guanxi, he had prepared everything, just waiting to rescue the Son of Heaven, and retreated. The Son of Heaven must be in Li Yi's hands at this moment, and soon, Li Yi will be able to coerce the Son of Heaven like Dong Zhuo and Li Dao to order him not to surrender. This is not a good thing for Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao doesn't care about it, and he doesn't care about the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven.

He wanted to remind Yuan Shao to take countermeasures as soon as possible so as not to be subject to Hebei in the future, but the trial stopped him. After Yuan Shao got his wish and won the Kanto and Kansai, the hegemony had begun to see its scale, and he was in a happy mood at the moment, and it was difficult to listen to the advice.

Moreover, if Yuan Shao wants to formulate countermeasures, it is nothing more than to rebuild the imperial system, which will not do any good to the consolidation of Yuan Shao's hegemony.

The next day, Chen Lin, Xu You, and Chun Yuqiong led their troops to rendezvous.

Yuan Shao led the army to leave Jizhou for about three months, and in such a short period of time, the army occupied Guandong and Guanxi successively, and the foundation of the king's hegemony was not determined, and the results were brilliant.

Chen Lin, Xu You and others congratulated Yuan Shao first, and then Xu You immediately asked about the current situation in Guanzhong. The trial said a rough idea of what he had heard.

Xu You's expression was suddenly solemn, and he shook his head again and again regretfully, and said: "In this way, Li Yi succeeded at the last moment, or King Qin. ”

Yuan Shao's smile froze, and his face immediately showed a little dissatisfaction. Xu You's tone of saying this made people sound very unpleasant, as if the Northern Xinjiang Army had won the battle and he had lost the battle. Although the Northern Xinjiang Army rescued the Son of Heaven, they were first defeated in the Kanto region, and later lost the Guanxi, and their strength was greatly damaged under the heavy losses. I won this battle. (To be continued.) )
